Hi, I have two Sun T2000 servers running Solaris (5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise–T200<wbr />0)<br />
<br />
Each T2000 has 2 available GbE NICs<br />
<br />
I want to connect these to a NetApp storage system (via brocade vdx copper switches)<br />
<br />
Can I use etherchannel on the Solaris for more bandwidth and failover?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
